Hey thanks for all these replies, makes a little more sense.
I guess it sounds, on a skim read, like a lot of postmodern theory (i studied a bit a long time ago) in that its cogent analysis but theres nowhere to go from it.
So trump being more and more extreme, but bizarrely gaining in popularity? Or coversely, "left" leaning ppl complaining abt him and t he upswing in right politics, but continuing with insular, affluent lifestyles?
Maybe thats something else actually.

@johneden yeah thats the one. I love how they renamed new york and also themselves. Remade the city. Its a great read after wsb naked lunch just before.

I'll try track down that d-g for scallies. Is anyone gna go to these seminars?

The Following 2 Users Say Thank You to john eden For This Useful Post:

i did read this but it's still pretty confusing. the one thing that did chime was the nugget about how capitalism requires you to concentrate yourself into one thing, "identity" as something of a prison. And so it's important to break out of that all the time. Might read the original D&G if I suddenly find myself on a three month holiday with no technology.

The modern mentality was caught with clear-eyed precision by the late British cultural theorist Mark Fisher... The online leftish culture, Fisher said, is driven by a “priest’s desire to excommunicate, an academic-pedant’s desire to be the first to be seen to spot a mistake and a hipster’s desire to be one of the in-crowd”.

Mark Fisher got me a copy of A Thousand Plateaus and I sold it almost immediately, partly out of spite, partly out of frustration. I bought it again and I haven't read it much but I do, and the chapter that sticks with me, that I'm reading again now, is the BwO chapter. You can botch it. But you can also reassemble it, or at the very least, can make modifications, and sea test it, and botch it again, probably, and burn it to the ground, again
